IWMSAdminArchiveSink Interface

You can use the IWMSAdminArchiveSink interface to archive streamed content. This interface is exposed by the WMS Archive Data Writer plug-in.

In addition to the methods inherited from IDispatch, the IWMSAdminArchiveSink interface exposes the following methods.

Method	Description
ExpandTemplate	Retrieves the expanded form of a tokenized template path.
get_ActivePath	Retrieves the path to the content that is being archived.
get_AutoStart	Retrieves a Boolean value indicating whether archiving begins automatically when streaming begins.
get_AvailableDiskSpace	Retrieves the amount of remaining disk space that can be used for archiving.
get_Bandwidth	Retrieves the current bandwidth of the content being archived.
get_ElapsedTime	Retrieves the amount of time that the archiving process has been running.
get_IsRecording	Retrieves a Boolean value indicating whether the archiving process is running.
get_Path	Retrieves the template path to which content is being archived.
put_AutoStart	Specifies a Boolean value indicating whether archiving begins automatically when streaming begins.
put_Path	Specifies the template path to which content is being archived.
StartRecord	Starts the archiving process.
StopRecord	Stops the archiving process.

Example

The following example illustrates how to retrieve a pointer to an IWMSAdminArchiveSink interface

#include <windows.h>
#include <atlbase.h>    // Includes CComBSTR and CComVariant.

// To access system plug-in interfaces, the
// entire type library must be imported as shown.
#import "WMSServerTypeLib.dll" no_namespace named_guids \
                               raw_interfaces_only

// Declare variables and interfaces.
IWMSServer                    *pServer;

IWMSPlugin                    *pPlugin;

hr = pPubPoints->Add(bstrName, WMS_PUBLISHING_POINT_BROADCAST,
                     bstrFile, &pPubPoint);
if (FAILED(hr)) goto EXIT;

// Query the IWMSBroadcastPublishingPoint interface from
// the newly created publishing point.

                              (void **)&pBCPubPoint);
if (FAILED(hr)) goto EXIT;

// Retrieve a pointer to an IWMSPlugins interface
// containing broadcast data sink plug-ins.
hr = pBCPubPoint->get_BroadcastDataSinks(&pPlugins);
if (FAILED(hr)) goto EXIT;

// Retrieve a pointer to the IWMSPlugin interface
// of the plug-in to be configured.
varIndex = "WMS Archive Data Writer";
hr = pPlugins->get_Item(varIndex, &pPlugin);
if (FAILED(hr)) goto EXIT;

// Retrieve a pointer to the custom interface
// of the plug-in.
hr = pPlugin->get_CustomInterface(&pDispatch);
if (FAILED(hr)) goto EXIT;

// Query the specific administration interface
// for the plug-in.
hr = pDispatch->QueryInterface(IID_IWMSAdminArchiveSink,
                              (void **)&pAdminArchiveSink);
if (FAILED(hr)) goto EXIT;

EXIT:
